It is known that the gravitational force of attraction between two alpha particles is much weaker than the electrical repulsion.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The ratio of gravitational force to electrical force is 3.19 x 10^-36

Explanation:

mass of an alpha particle = 6.64 x $10^{-27}$ kg

charge on an alpha particle = +2e = +2(1.6 x $10^{-19}$ C) = 3.2 x $10^{-19}$ C

distance between particles = d

For gravitational attraction:

The force of gravitational attraction F = $\frac{Gm^{2} }{r^{2} }$

where G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

r = the distance between the particles = d

m = the mass of each particle

therefore, gravitational force = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*(6.64*10^{-27} )^{2} }{d^{2} }$ = $\frac{2.94*10^{-63} }{d^{2} }$ Newton

For electrical repulsion:

Electrical force between the particles = $\frac{-kQ^{2} }{r^{2} }$

where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9.0 x $10^{9}$ N•m^2/C^2

r = distance between the particles = d

Q = charge on each particle

therefore, electrical force = $\frac{-9*10^{9}*(3.2*10^{-19} )^{2} }{d^{2} }$ = $\frac{-9.216*10^{-28} }{d^{2} }$ Newton

the negative sign implies that there is a repulsion on the particles due to their like charges.

Ratio of the magnitude of gravitation to electrical force = $\frac{2.94*10^{-63} }{9.216*10^{-28} }$

==> 3.19 x 10^-36

Energy transformation, also termed as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one of its forms into another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform many works—think of lifting or warming an object. In addition to being convertible, energy is transferable to a different location or object, but it cannot be created or destroyed.

Energy in many of its forms may be used in natural processes, or to provide some service to society such as heating, refrigeration, lighting or performing mechanical work to operate machines. For example, in order to heat your home, your furnace can burn fuel, whose chemical potential energy is thus converted into thermal energy, which is then transferred to your home's air in order to raise its temperature.

In another example, an internal combustion engine burns gasoline to create pressure that pushes the pistons, thus performing work in order to accelerate your vehicle, ultimately converting the fuel's chemical energy to your vehicle's additional kinetic energy corresponding to its increase in speed.

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.5 m/s2. At the same insta

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

Given:

u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s

a = constant acceleration of the automobile = $2.5\ m/s^2$
v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

Assume:

t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

$\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\$

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.

11) A man is on a 1/4 on a bridge. A train is coming the same direction he is going. The man can run across the bridge in the sa

lesya692 [45]

15mph

If the man turns and runs toward point A, he will cover

3/8 of the length of the bridge in the time that it takes

the train to reach A.

If the man runs forward toward point B, what part of the bridge

will he cover before the train reaches A? Well, he will cover

3/8 of the bridge, only heading forward toward B. This will put

him 3/8 + 3/8 = 6/8 = 3/4 of the way across the bridge by the

time the train reaches A.

since we know that the man and the train will meet at B, this

means that in the time it takes the man to run the remaining

1/4 of the bridge, the train will cover the entire length of

the bridge.

If it takes the man the same time to cover 1/4 of the bridge

that it takes the train to cover the whole bridge, then the train

must be going four times as fast as the man. Another way of saying

this is that the man runs at 1/4 the speed of the train.

Since the train's speed is known to be 60 mph, this means that

the man runs at (1/4) 60 = 15 mph.
